Our dishwasher has given up the ghost. I thought it was less than 5 years old but found the paperwork and it's 11! Repairman can't come till Tuesday so I've had to get the rubber gloves out. I hate washing up.
@Lizzie27 I'd consider a new purchase. By the time the repair man has billed you it may be cheaper in the long run to buy a new one. I'd find out his/her hourly repair rate before engaging him/her . I'm all for repair and re-use , but if the economics don't stack up..... A new full size dishwasher can be had for £250 these days .

@B3 Not necessarily. I think it was Pete said that. The variety I grow are hot or not, green or when they are red. Either way, it depends on the plant. Anyway, I reckon the tip is the hottest part and deseed before you use - that takes some of the heat out.
@wild edges Hot is good - fire is not worth it as you can't even taste the meal. Gotta spice up the day a little bit
On one occasion somebody said "Can I do such and such?" My boss said "Yes you can"... other person smirks because they have won, unti my boss continued with "but you may not". Confusion on face of other person who then made the mistake of saying "What do you mean? It's the same thing". Lesson in the meaning of words followed whilst other person tried to hide. The rest of those in the meeting thought it was funny too.
I had a client like that, back in the days when people wrote letters. We had one from him "Dear XX In response to your letter of such a such date. No. Regards YY"

If they were padron chillies, eaten green, they are known to have maybe one in ten that is insanely hot and all the rest quite mild. If you let them ripen to red, then almost all of them are hot, IME

@raisingirl They look like the chilli peppers that I grow. The seed comes from the local Calabrese community here (in a matchbox), so we have a "local" name for them. Now I am pretty sure that they are Padron peppers because that is exactly the explanation - Russian Roulette. That's cleared that up because the Calabrese community will swear blind that they are Italian, but I see they are Spanish. It is at this point, I know when to s**t up!!
Chillies sold here are either very mild, measuring about 10 on the Richter scale or else Scotch Bonnets which are almost off the other end of the scale. Occasionally I see Bird's Eye chillies but they too are lethal to taste buds.
I was delighted to find bags of Jalapeno chillies a couple of weeks ago but I strongly suspect they're actually Padron from their shape and "roulette" features. I've actually managed to source some seeds and sow a few varieties this year but have no idea what they'll be like as they're all new to me.

They all looked like poor design, young girl over-elaboratiion and garish colours like a young girl's comic. One has to start somewhere, so started with GW. I think I made a mistake, any suggestions for something more serious.

Not from anyone on here. Some of us have been here for years - asking, answering, commenting, commiserating, giving comfort, support, expressing rage and having a laugh.
It's a very informative forum frequented by people with lots of experience and knowledge, some professionals, many gifted amateurs. It's a great community.
If you don't want that and only want straight info with no frills or experience I suggest you consult books such as the RHS encyclopedias or just google the plant or problem in question.

Calabrian roulette is not my kind of game.
